Trevor Lawrence leaves the MNF game for the Jacksonville Jaguars due to an ankle injury.
Following the sack, Lawrence was obviously hurting, and as the shocked Jacksonville crowd watched in shock, he slammed his helmet down. Players from the Bengals and Jaguars expressed concern as Lawrence writhed in agony.
Eventually, someone helped the Jaguars quarterback off the field and into the locker room. When Lawrence left the game with 5:43 remaining in the fourth quarter, he had 259 passing yards and two touchdowns. On the next play, Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus missed a 48-yard field goal.
Shortly after the injury, Lawrence was shown on the ESPN broadcast to be in the X-ray room. The Jaguars later announced that Lawrence’s ankle injury made it unlikely for him to return. Lawrence was replaced at quarterback by C.J. Beathard, who saw the game out for Jacksonville.
According to a person with direct knowledge of the matter, Lawrence’s initial diagnosis was an ankle sprain, which USA TODAY Sports confirmed. Due to the sensitivity of the subject, they only spoke under the condition of anonymity. On Tuesday, Lawrence will have an MRI.
After the game, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson stated, “We’re still evaluating him.” “He’ll be coming in here tonight and tomorrow for more testing and procedures.”
This season, Lawrence is the most well-known quarterback to suffer an injury. Many players have suffered injuries, including Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), Kirk Cousins (Achilles), Deshaun Watson (shoulder), Anthony Richardson (shoulder), Joe Burrow (wrist), Daniel Jones (knee), and Kenny Pickett (ankle).
After the game, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson stated, “We’re still evaluating him.” “He’ll be coming in here tonight and tomorrow for more testing and procedures.” the Indianapolis Colts (7-5) and Houston Texans (7-5) are behind the AFC South-leading Jaguars by one game.
